Southsea Beach Day

Southsea Beach Day & Kite Festival

Saturday 25th July

 

Nestled on the southern side of Portsmouth – with views across to the Isle of Wight – the coastal resort of Southsea has traditional British waterfront charm, with a fresh air of trendiness brought by the increasing number of independent shops and eateries that now reside in this special slice of seaside England. 

 

Southsea’s long and beautiful stretch of shingle is enough to satisfy a sun-filled day – as a well-kept secret, there will always be space for you to sunbathe on the pebbles at Southsea or take to the water to try water sports like Stand Up Paddleboarding or watch the Hovercraft come in and out throughtout the day - or maybe book yourself a seat on board

 

Walk along Southsea’s beautiful beach promenade or relax on the green space of Southsea Common (once awarded Warburton's Best Picnic Spot) for

Portsmouths International Kite Festival bringing an explosion of colour with a huge range of kites of all shapes and sizes on display, with the top flyers in action to delight the crowds - "Amazing kites and day out" said Tracy our Day Trips Advisor who made a visit in 2025

 

Have some traditional seaside fun at the Clarence Pier Amusement Park and South Parade Pier or go on an undersea safari at the Blue Reef Aquarium.

Explore the underground passages of Southsea Castle, built by Henry VIII and the spot from where he witnessed his flagship, the Mary Rose, tragically sink. 

 

Discover the independent shopping heaven of Albert Road – bustling with quirky and independent traders selling retro clothes and vintage treasures, alongside one-of-a-kind restaurants, hip bars and cafes.

 

With so much to do your be sure of a great day out for all ages
